March first came quick!

Goodness, I can’t believe it’s March already! I guess time flies when your having fun.

I start week five of my running program (More like week seven or eight, but only on week five because I think the program is for super humans, not regular Joe average people like Debbie and I). I am loosely following the couch to 5K program from Coolrunning.com and listening to the podcasts by Robert Ullrey while I run… well I was, until this last week. The later you get in the weeks, the harder the program is… obviously. You are training for a 5K!

So, I decided to cheat a little… Okay, maybe it’s not cheating per say… but I didn’t listen to the podcast for day two and three of week four. Instead I watched a movie on my iPhone. Handy little thing that is.

The first day (which was actually the second, are you following along?), I watched UP. So.the.wrong.movie.to.watch.while.you.run…period. Don’t try it at home folks. It was so slow and not a running time movie. Really, instead of making me forget about the time, I just stared at it. Hahaha.

So day two (which was actually the third day of the run week, and last day), I had downloaded, quite by accident (I plugged my phone and synced it to another computer in my house), another movie. A certain teenage vampire movie I received for my birthday last year from a great friend. I had forgotten I had it on that computer and so when it was synced back up to retrieve my ringtones, it transferred over.

Now before you go into, “that movie was so lame, blah blah blah…” I am not asking you to watch it. To each their own.

That doesn’t change the fact it was now on my iPhone and I ran to it last night.

Believe it or not… watching the darn thing worked like a charm! I messed up with my run times… a little… cuzz I was too involved in Bella and Edward (haha) but boy the time passed like a charm! I even wanted to keep going so that I could watch longer. Crazy movie.

So when I consider week five in two days, I will definitely bring the sparkley teenage vampire movie… because it worked! I will try anything at this point to trick my body into not realizing its running or training for a 5K.

Writing update: Today I should finish RUNAWAY CHOICES. Then I will let it rest for a few weeks and jump into editing.

In the meantime, I will probably write another couple UNSEEN CHRONICLES or really dive in and plot book 3 Mandorian Prophecies. Haven’t quite figured it completely out yet.

No new news on any other nonfiction fronts. I queried an agent on Thursday… or was that Wednesday? But they are moving their offices this week, so I don’t expect to hear anything back for some time. No worries, I am not in a hurry. It’s God’s timing, not mine.

Off to complete a novel… and ponder a 5K.
